Longhorns,

Mrs. Buzeta (Spanish Teacher at Lanier Middle School) is going to Peru in June 2026, and you’re invited!

This trip is open to current 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th grade students.

She's excited to tell you more about the trip she has planned with EF Tours, an educational travel partner. Please be sure to RSVP for this zoom info session to learn more about this opportunity:

When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and we would love to have your student join us on this adventure.

In this info session, we’ll talk about:

• How this opportunity will benefit your student
• What we’ll see and do on our trip
• Everything that’s included in this experience
• How your child can earn academic credit
• How we’re keeping this safe and affordable

• How to enroll on this trip

There are limited spots on this trip, so we would love to have you attend this meeting to learn more about this exciting opportunity! Again please RSVP to the link above to receive the zoom link for the meeting. https://bit.ly/41JkL85

The meeting will be held at 6:00PM on Thursday, April 3rd.

Please reach out to Mrs. Buzeta at goabroadrobinson@gmail.com for questions

Again make sure to RSVP to the meeting if you are interested!

Each week we will post a question for students to discuss with their adults over the weekend. Questions can be funny, serious, or thought provoking, but each week provides a new occasion for a family discussion. Students will have opportunities to write about some of these topics as well as earn extra credit in language arts for their participation.

Lanier Middle School Beta Club will sponsoring a Hygiene Heist next week: Bring in soap, toothbrushes, deodorant, feminine products, etc.

At Lanier Middle School, mornings are an excellent opportunity for students to receive extra support in their core subjects. With that in mind, for the 2024-2025 school year we will target each core content area on a specific day of the week. If your student needs additional support or needs assistance in a Connection class, they can see their content teacher to arrange an additional day that works with the teachers morning schedule. In order for students to attend morning tutoring, they need to arrive at 8:05 AM.

Beginning with the 2024-2025 )school year (Effective July 1) GCPS will be implementing fines for damaged and lost Chromebooks and power cords. Please discuss the importance of taking care of the equipment that has been issued to your student.

*A device could have multiple damaged components such as broken hinges as well as a cracked screen, this would result in a fine of $50. $25 for each damaged component.

Currently we have about 37% of our families using the Parent Square App. This is a great and easy way to stay connected to all things Lanier and GCPS. Consider downloading it this weekend.
